ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients, but it could be reactivated to incur several serious complications in immunocompromized patients. There are several case reports of CMV induced vasculitis and endothelial cell inflammation that cause ischemia of organs in immunocompromised patients. However, CMV infection causing splenic infarct is rare in immunocompetent patients. Only twenty cases have been reported worldwide and this case report appears to be the first documented case of CMV infection causing splenic infarction in immunocompetent patient in Korea.
